    And the big deal is …

    The “big” [announcement of the day](http://www.sun.com/2005-1004/feature/index.html):

    > As part of the agreement, Sun will include the Google Toolbar as an option in downloads of the Java Runtime Environment from Java.com, Sun’s showcase and portal for Java technology enthusiasts and developers. The new functionality will be available soon.

    Later today: Microsoft announces that they will bundle the MSN toolbar with every download of .Net, followed by Yahoo announcing they will bundle the Yahoo toolbar with every download of PHP, thereby instantly transforming the Web into a distribution channel for bundled applications.
